The people behind HudsonSeed.
Trevor Vaughan
Founder
Trevor Vaughan spent over twenty years trading energy on Wall Street — the NYMEX floor and the OTC desks — before that life caught up with him. In 2013 he got sober, went back and finished his degree at Rutgers, and traded the floor for the classroom. He holds Yoga Alliance RYT-500 and RCYT-95 credentials — over 900 hours of training in all — including children's yoga training with Eddie Stern in New York, three 100-hour Ashtanga trainings at Pure Yoga NYC, and teaching with Connected Warriors. He founded HudsonSeed in 2016 to bring short, science-based breathing and movement resets to the whiteboards schools already have — in English and Spanish. As Director of Children's Programs at YogaRenew, he leads the 30-hour children's yoga teacher training taken by over 7,000 teachers. In the classroom, the kids just call him Mr. Trevor. Calm bodies, ready brains.
Gabriella "Gaby" Yen-Vera
Lead Teacher, RYT-200
Gaby has taught with HudsonSeed for over five years, and she is the teacher classrooms ask for by name. Her sessions are the calm in the middle of the school day — children settle, breathe, and leave steadier than they arrived. She has a rare gift for meeting every child exactly where they are, and she brings warmth, patience, and quiet joy into every room she enters. A background-checked children's yoga teacher.
Luciana "Lucy" Arnett
Teacher, RYT-200
Lucy brings a breath-first calm to every room she enters. Trained in prenatal yoga and grounded in pranayama and meditation, she teaches community classes in Spanish as well as English — and she has a gift for slowing a classroom down: shoulders drop, breathing deepens, and children find their focus again. Her sessions are gentle, steady, and quietly joyful. A background-checked children's yoga teacher.
